The Pale Masque minifig (Thunderhead Marauders)

[Morgan19]

This was made for Eurobricks' MCW contest, as the basis for a hypothetical steampunk/skypirate theme with a heavy fantasy/Medieval influence.

Whoa! super cool! Howd you add the silver and stuff to the shield?

Yes, how do you operate paint again?

[Morgan19]

In short, Karrde's right. The shield piece was originally transparent neon orange. I painted it all black, then added the bronze paint, then the silver.

Thats the best custom Castle minifig I've seen Though it is not completly cast but still with a few ajustments it would fit in with any castle creation.

[Kevin1990]

very nice customs piece, this really shows the painted lego can turn out amazing! love it
but hey all your custom minifigs are great

[LegoLord.]

Sweet job, everything looks neat and clean.

That mini figure looks awesome! What type of paint did you use and are they brickforge weapons that the mini figure is holding?

[Morgan19]

The black is Krylon Fusion spraypaint; the silver and brown/bronze colors are Golden brand acrylic paints.

The spear and shield are actually painted MegaBloks weapons-- I found a ton of something called "Plasma Dragon" packs on clearance for $1 and each one has a bunch of interesting weapons like those. They're in obnoxious colors like trans-blue and neon orange, but they come out pretty nice once re-painted.

Since this figure uses paint, this discussion belongs in the Castle Customs section. I am moving it there.

Both of these are awesome! I wish I could make good customs.

The Marauder soldier helmet is inspired. That's a great way of thinking "outside the box".
